Making it to and through college these days requires Internet sophistication.
Parents can and should play important modeling, orienting and supervision roles in these regards.
To do so requires knowledge of the amazing array of school performance and college preparation resources that exist on the Internet.
I recently became aware of and impressed by a CD that contains and systematizes this valuable information, The Gateway to Academic Success.
The creators of this useful CD spent seven years surfing the Internet to find the best websites for students to use as they do their homework, and for students and parents to use as they seek out the colleges that are best suited to their interests and backgrounds.
The result is the Gateway to Academic Success CD that contains over 1,800 direct links to helpful websites, including websites about financial aid.
It is easy to use, available in English and Spanish, and opens doors for you to websites and resources you never knew existed.
Try it out and let me know how helpful it is to you, your family, your students, and your school.
Adora wouldn't have achieved so much if it's not for the positive usage of technology. She is seven, writing for high school age children. How is it possible? When you visit her site www.adorasvitak.com you will understand.
